Global VAT Experiment

disraeli
Le'ts imagine a government that decided to not collect any taxes,  instead some percentage of each transaction in the market (except for stocks trading and loans) will be collected as a VAT.  

What should be the parentage of such a VAT in order to keep the budget at the same level as before the suggestion?

What could be the implication of such a system on the economy?
